We will not bow down to, uh huh, racist
We will not bow down to injustice
We will not bow down to exploitation
I'm gon' stand, I'm gon' stand
Now this is time for free your mind and your soul
Yo, half the story has never been told
Ladies, you got to demand what you want
And what we want is respect, right?
Come and take a walk with me
Closer walk with thee
See what only I can see
Sisters, check this
Watch this
Turn us loose, set us free from all the chains that bind me
Let us run in our own direction
Let us go, set us free from all this propaganda and lies
That your people try to teach us
I know why you would like to bring us down
Because we have all the dirt on you
You try to tell us that our lives don't mean a damn
But we know so much better
So we're gonna take our freedom
